So who do you expose?

I did that, and found it difficult even to protect the number of players we are allowed.

Just noticed the Leafs can call up Seth Griffith post trade deadline and expose him. only has 16 GR.

I don't think they can expose him.

Keep both.
- mykokes

I know eh! WTF mate.

If you want to protect Rychel, you probably have to expose Bozak, Martin and Komarov.
- Atomic Wedgie

I had Andersen
Carrick, Reilly, Gardiner
Kadri, JVR, Bozak, Komarov, Rychel, Brown, Leivo

No issues whatsoever.

Left Martin, Marchenko, Marincin and the goalie brigade exposed.

You don't have to protect Leivo. He's not eligible unless he plays another 31 games this year.

- BINGO!

And neither is Rychel, 38 GR.

We're talking expansion draft here....so give us a few minutes aight?

I had Andersen

Goalie and D are easy.

Leaving Leipsic unprotected?

And we may have problems if Ben Smith doesn't sign a new contract with us - meaning we will have to expose someone else with experience.

It wouldn't surprise me to see the Leafs pick up a stiff who has a year left on his contract, specifically to satisfy the requirement.

Oh, missed him, but doesn't he fail to meet the requirement as well? I'd gladly expose Komarov if that's the case.

Here's your issue: you need to expose another forward who has 40/70 or more.

I'm really not sure how this all works....if a guy doesn't meet the requirements, he doesn't need to be protected, is that right?

- Atomic Wedgie

Right, but if they don't, you dont need to protect them either right?

Martin & Komarov....easy peasy. Or some other stiff we trade for.

Or Smith even, with an extension signed day after deadline day!

There's two different things at work here:

A) you can only protect 7F, 3D, 1G, or 8 skaters, 1G. So let's just assume the former.

BUT....

Of all the other guys you expose, you need at least two forwards and 1 D to meet the following requirements:

- under contract for 2017-18
- have played 40+ games this year, or 70+ games over the past two seasons.

So that's the rub.

So...Martin, Komarov. Whats the issue wedgie?

yeah Wedgie, what's the issue?

Andersen
Carrick, Reilly, Gardiner
Kadri, JVR, Bozak, Lipstick, Rychel, Brown, Leivo

With Martin and Komarov exposed, and the M&M d-men exposed. Done. All good.

yeah Wedgie, what's the issue?
- twiztedmike

The issue is some jerkfaces here swear that Komarov is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I have no issue with your plan, however.

That's exactly the Wedgie plan.

Just have some Kleenex ready when you here the sobs from the Mrs. Komarovs around here.

These Sportsnet "trade targets" are total garbage. Streit? Khulikov?

Good defensive play by Willy.




Wait, I thought that he didn't play D...?

Yeah, we need people to play D, not people who are rated "D"...
